The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office filed criminal charges against former Milwaukee City Attorney Tearman Spencer Wednesday.
Spencer, 67, of Milwaukee is charged with misconduct in office, a felony, and obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor, according to a criminal complaint.
On the felony charge, the complaint states that between June 1, 2022, and Feb. 14, 2023, "in his capacity as a public employee (Spencer) exercised a discretionary power in a manner inconsistent with the duties of his employment and with intent to obtain a dishonest advantage for another."
He's accused of obstructing an officer in July 2024.
Spencer lost his bid for re-election in April to state Rep. Evan Goyke.
